Bella the Beautiful

Bella wants to be mobile. She is determined to figure out how to move. It’s so fun to watch her become. She has been on the vent more than off lately. I have been wondering of late what we will be working with once she is off the vent for good. What will she be like? A really bad asthma little girl? Will it slow down her development because she’ll have to spend so much effort and energy breathing? I’m just worried. I like where we are. The future, being unknown, is still frightening to me.

Meanwhile, her PT said to get a walker (the play kind, not the gait trainer). It gives her another position upright and where she can learn to move her feet and put weight on those little legs. Enjoy!

Yea Bella! As inevitable as change is, it's also frightening when you cant see around the corner. You have friends that will be your support, family that will see you through and a Father in Heaven that will carry you when the day seems a bit too long. Bella is a gift, and amazing, strong and resilient gift!

Well, maybe I’m too close to see you clearlyOr is it now my role to simply believe?You’re just one of those mysteriesThat may never be solved in timeBut you do — you do — you shine

And Sammy will do what Sammy will do when Sammy is ready to do itAnd Trevor will do what Trevor will do when Trevor is ready to do itAnd Lucy will do what Lucy will do when Lucy is ready to do itAnd they’ll do it in their own time
